KUSD Rising Educators Program

In a unique partnership between PACC, UW-Parkside’s Teacher Education program and the Kenosha Unified School District an innovative pathway to becoming a teacher in Wisconsin has been created and implemented.

The Rising Educators program is available at all Kenosha Unified high schools. The Rising Educators program is a no-cost concurrent enrollment pathway to explore the teaching profession.
